This term paper titled “The Wars of Succession as Phenomena of Decline of Muslim Power in South Asia” was written for the MA course “History of Muslim South Asia” in Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad. It focused on the unmerciful clashes among the royal families which occurred due to the absence of any rule or law of succession among the Muslim dynasties in South Asia.
Background: This paper is a part of a collection of old research papers (1976-1981) written as course requirements. The collection tells us a very interesting history of methods available to students to submit assignments to their professors; (a) hand-written on lined papers (b) manually typewritten and finally (c) electronically type written (no option of autocorrection or spellcheck. Whitener pen was used to make corrections). Further, these papers show language and grammar difficulties of a student who studied from Urdu-medium school and college. It was the time when no language/grammar editing was available and professors were lenient for grammatical errors.
